Finding Strength in Who You Are, Whose You Are, and Why You Were Created

 

There comes a point when life feels heavy—when roles, responsibilities, and expectations weigh you down. But true strength is not found in striving harder. It is found in knowing who you are, whose you are, and why you were created.

Who you are is more than your job, title, or role. You are God’s beloved, His masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Whose you are grounds you in truth: you belong to Christ, and His love secures you when the world feels shaky.

Why you were created fuels your journey. Your life carries purpose, even in seasons of waiting, caregiving, or transition.

When you rest in these truths, you walk differently—you face challenges with courage, knowing you are never alone.

Call to Action: This week, pause and write down:

  • One truth about who you are in Christ
  • One way you’ve seen God’s strength sustain you
  • One purpose you are walking in right now

Then share one of those truths with a friend who may need encouragement.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for reminding me who I am, whose I am, and the purpose You’ve given me. Help me to live boldly in that truth and to encourage others along the way. Amen.

Unapologetically, G.

Practice Forgiveness for a Peaceful Heart

Image
"Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you." -  Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of a peaceful and fulfilling life. When someone wrongs us, the initial reaction might be to hold onto the hurt, replaying moments of pain and frustration. Yet, Colossians 3:13 reminds us that just as God has forgiven us, we too are called to forgive others. This act of forgiveness brings healing not only to the relationship but also to our own hearts. Holding onto grudges often weighs us down, filling our minds with anger, bitterness, and stress. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows us to let go of this burden. When we forgive, we’re choosing freedom from resentment and moving forward in peace. As difficult as it may seem, forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting the wrongdoing; it simply means releasing the control it has over our lives. It's about finding peace by trusting that God will give us the strengt...

The Power of Listening

Image
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 Listening is a gift that connects and strengthens families across generations. When we truly listen, we show love and respect, giving younger generations the wisdom and guidance they need for their journey. For the older generation, this listening brings a deep satisfaction, knowing that their experiences and lessons add value to their family and are cherished by those they love. "Lord, help me listen with a loving and patient heart. May I encourage the younger and older generations alike to see the value in each other's lives and experiences, growing together in love and wisdom. Amen." UNAPOLOGETICALLY, G

Mending Brokenness: God’s Call to Forgiveness and Unity

Image
  We live in a world full of division—families torn apart, friendships ended, churches split, and individuals walking around with silent, unhealed wounds. Brokenness is the enemy’s favorite weapon because a divided people are a weakened people. But God calls us to a different way. Through Christ, we are offered healing, forgiveness, and realignment. What the enemy tries to destroy, God desires to rebuild in love and unity. Forgiveness is one of the hardest yet most freeing acts of obedience. It’s not about ignoring pain but refusing to let pain dictate the direction of your life. When we forgive, we unlock healing not just for ourselves, but for everyone connected to us. Unity is the heartbeat of heaven. Scripture reminds us that “a house divided cannot stand” (Mark 3:25) .  This isn’t just about households—it’s about communities, churches, and even our inner life. The cracks in our hearts are mended when we choose love over bitterness, forgiveness over revenge, and unity ove...
